Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2nd edition of CupcakeCampTO!
We are super happy to say that we raised $1700 for The Daily Bread Food Bank! So incredibly amazing.
On top of the cash donation, we also collected a grocery cart full of non-perishable food items!
The Daily Bread Food Bank is always looking for support, so click here to see ways to donate!
